The Fun Experts are thrilled to announce their official partnership with Preston North End Football Club, bringing an exciting new element to the club’s soccer schools. Together with Preston North End’s Community and Education Trust, they created a unique blend of fun that will ensure young players have an unforgettable experience, both on and off the pitch.

As part of our involvement, the activity package that perfectly complements football training, ensuring that the fun doesn’t stop when the whistle blows. The Fun Experts will provide interactive challenges which will provide young players with the chance to explore different sports, hone their teamwork skills, and - most importantly - have a ball of a time. Whether it’s scoring points in a basketball shootout or hitting the bullseye in darts, the challenges are designed to keep spirits high and smiles wide, giving the kids a fun-filled experience inbetween their football drills.

Preston North End’s Soccer School is all about nurturing the next generation of footballers, regardless of their current skill level. Open to all abilities, the sessions are run by FA-qualified coaches who create an encouraging, supportive environment for kids to improve their skills and passion for the game. Alongside their love of football, participants will have the chance to win certificates, trophies, as well as official PNE merchandise and tickets to matches, making every session feel like a major win.

The meeting kicked off with their very own mascot, Fun Bear, heading to Deepdale stadium to meet the Deepdale Duck where they discussed their goals for the future.

Sunny Sandwell, Director Of Fun, commented 'Our partnership with Preston North End doesn’t stop at fun and games - it’s part of a broader commitment by us to support local sports and community initiatives.  We believe fun and football are a perfect match. Our collaboration underscores our mission to create experiences that bring people together and make lasting memories. Whether it’s perfecting a football technique or sharing laughs with teammates over a new sport, the kids will leave the Soccer School with new skills, lasting friendships, and a sense of achievement.'

The Fun Experts are based on Preston Docks and deliver event entertainment to over one thousand events each year throughout the UK. Part of this includes fun to many football clubs from grassroots level through to Premiership teams including Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
